I love this recipe. It was so good and I ate seconds, which I rarely do at dinner. I did not make the Velveeta shells and cheese dinner with it though.

Very simple dish--chicken extremely moist. Would recommend seasoning chicken for added flavor. Will likely make using Italian seasoned tomatoes next time for added flavor as well.

My family loved this chicken recipe. I doubled the canned tomatoes and added extra cheese on top and served over orzo pasta. gtis one is a keeper in my house!

I made this with a few tweaks. I seasoned the chicken with Italian seasoning, and also added red pepper and zucchini. You could really add almost any vegetable. Instead of serving it with the mac & cheese I served it over egg noddles and added a little extra pasta sauce while it baked. Very good though overall and very easy with items already on hand!

Super easy and very good. Pulled it out of the oven and it looked just like the picture and that never happens to me.

Huge hit w/ the family. Even my husband said he liked it. I liked how easy it was. I used broccoli instead of green pepper. I forgot to salt & pepper the chicken, and I personally think it could have used a bit.

Chicken was so good and easy!! The mac & cheese on the side was a bit over the top - way too much cheese to our taste. I used fresh tomatoes from our garden so there was some liquid in the pan. Next time I'll use rice or egg noodles arranged under the chicken mixture just before serving..
